Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Treasures at none against MasterDex's shown. Treasures also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MasterDex's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. MasterDex sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Treasures sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Treasures holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterDex has 1.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of MasterDex's written reviews are positive against 100% of Treasures's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MasterDex ships an update every 3 weeks, Treasures every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
